The public federal record on N9AQ, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.
Valid registration to Robinson Dennis R, a co-owned, certificate issued May 25, 2005, expires April 30, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 10, 1993, 18 years after the 1975 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 568-H for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N9AQ according to the deregistered file. [2]
